Really? I thought RROD was hardware failure due mainly to heat? Something about the chips seperating from the heatsink?

Regardless, it's not somewhere I would be keeping mine. Standing it upright exposes far more surface area for heat release. I also clipped an intercooler to the back. I have read the intercooler doesn't do any good but I really don't see how. My Xbox is much cooler to the touch with it then without. I have always been of the opinon that heat is the biggest killer of most electronic devices so I keep mine as cool as possible. So far so good.

I do have the elite version though, I think they have the newer chipset.
